Sound preloaded with java applet

[Laczeee]

I try to dowlnoad some wav files using a java applet. Everything works fine, the sounds get downloaded(they are playable) but after this I call the actual HTML page for which the pre-downloads were made for. When it gets loaded, it does not find the wavs cached so everything has to be re-downloaded again. I guess this means applets do not cache sounds. Is there a solution to repair the applet so that it could really pre-cache the wavs?

Here's the thread I use for downloading:

class LoadThread extends Thread
	{
	LoadThread(){};
	
	public void run()
	{
		for (int i=1;i<=5;i++)
		{
			AudioClip s1;
			
			switch (i)
			{
			case 1:s1=getAudioClip (getCodeBase(), "pinball.wav");break;
			case 2:s1=getAudioClip (getCodeBase(), "ramy.wav");break;
			case 3:s1=getAudioClip (getCodeBase(), "flyaway.wav");break;
			case 4:s1=getAudioClip (getCodeBase(), "castle.wav");break;
			case 5:s1=getAudioClip (getCodeBase(), "spencer.wav");break;
			}
		
			clipno=i;// I use clipno as a global variable in the paint() method
			
			repaint();   
         	
         	try 
        	{
         		sleep(0);
        	}
            catch (InterruptedException e) {}
		}
		// after it finishes the for loop it loads the HTML file:
		try
		{ 
		getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL("http://www.mrvarga.go.ro"), "_top");

		}
		catch (MalformedURLException ex)
		{ 
		ex.printStackTrace();

		}
	}
